When trying to uninstall Visual C++ I get the following error:
Here are the remaining versions of Visual C++ on my device:
When trying to install the latest Visual C++ I get this error:
I attempted to use the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter from Microsoft, but the download link is broken. How can I proceed? I need to fix this issue in order to install the newest AMD graphics drivers on my device. Thanks!

For the first error message, does this VC_redist.x86.exe exists or not?
According to the error message, it seems the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is corrupted on your computer, please try to download the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 and run it to repair. If it works fine, then install the latest Visual C++ again.
Both the x86 and x64 versions failed to install because I already have it installed on my device.
Have you tried the suggestion that I shared yesterday? We can try to use the msiinv.exe tool to fetch the product code then run the msiexex /x <product code> to uninstall the Visual C++ redistributable.
@Will V , have you tried the method about remove the related registry key? If not works, please feel free to let us know.
The Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter has been discontinued, instead, you can upgrade to Windows 10 and get troubleshooters that are built right in, for more detail information, please check this.

I'm having a similar problem but with the amd64 version.
I've attempted every way i could find but it always fails on the same step.
I would be very thankful if someone could at least say what is broken. Thanks.
